We investigate some of the effects of the lack of compactness in the critical Folland-Stein-Sobolev embedding in very general (possible non-smooth) domains, by proving via De Giorgi's $\Gamma$-convergence techniques that optimal functions…

We introduce for any exponent $p>1$ the $p$-curvature functional for rectifiable curves in the two-dimensional sphere. We prove that this functional is finite and agrees with the integral of the geodesic curvature raised to the power $p$ on…

We study the Ginzburg-Landau energy of superconductors with a term $a_\ep$ modelling the pinning of vortices by impurities in the limit of a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\kappa=1/\ep$. The function $a_\ep$ is oscillating between 1/2 and…

We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…

The study of singular perturbations of the Dirichlet energy is at the core of the phenomenological-description paradigm in soft condensed matter. Being able to pass to the limit plays a crucial role in the understanding of the…

In this paper we prove the lower semicontinuity of a Neohookean-type energy for a model of Nonlinear Elasticity that allows, for the first time, for $p<n-1$. Our class of admissible deformations consists of weak limits of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$…

Decomposition complexity for metric spaces was recently introduced by Guentner, Tessera, and Yu as a natural generalization of asymptotic dimension. We prove a vanishing result for the continuously controlled algebraic K-theory of bounded…

We study a family of scale-invariant $p$-densities of knot types in $R^3$, defined as the ratio of length to an $L^p$-type spread of pairwise distances along a curve. The first point of the paper is that the unconstrained theory has a…

Given a family of critical points $u_{\epsilon}:M^n\to\mathbb{C}$ for the complex Ginzburg--Landau energies \begin{align*} &E_\epsilon(u)=\int_{M}\left(\frac{|du|^2}{2}+\frac{(1-|u|^2)^2}{4\epsilon^2}\right), \end{align*} on a manifold $M$,…

We introduce and study the $\rho$-Loewner energy, a variant of the Loewner energy with a force point on the boundary of the domain. We prove a large deviation principle for SLE$_\kappa(\rho)$, as $\kappa \to 0+$ and $\rho>-2$ is fixed, with…

In this paper we consider global $\theta$-curvatures of finite Markov chains with associated means $\theta$ in the spirit of the entropic curvature (based on the logarithmic mean) by Erbar-Maas and Mielke. As in the case of Bakry-\'Emery…

We investigate a homogenization problem related to a non-local interface energy with a periodic forcing term. We show the existence of planelike minimizers for such energy. Moreover, we prove that, under suitable assumptions on the…

Following a previous idea, a curved geometry is proposed as being valid in accelerated systems, in Minkowski space. The curvature turns out to be generated by the source of the accelerated motion. An exponential factor depending on $\rho$…

We apply Colombeau-type regularization to the electromagnetic field of a point-charge and show how the Li\'{e}nard-Wiechert potential can be derived from a generalized function based on the geometry of Minkowski space. Furthermore, for a…

After appropriate normalizations an embedded disk whose second fundamental form has large norm contains a multi-valued graph, provided the L^P norm of the mean curvature is sufficiently small. This generalizes to non-minimal surfaces a well…
